Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

i've been looking for a way to limit the monthly downloads of squid on a per user bases. i've looked at using squish, but there is dead set no documentation, now i'm trying 'squidquota' with next to no documentation. this is all they have.

I need to add squidquota.pl as a redirector, can someone help me out?

README for SquidQuota

What it is
~~~~~~~~~~

SquidQuota is a quota system for squid. You can limit the usage of your internet users. What you need is a database, perl, a webserver and of course squid. The configuration for mysql and postgres are already included. It should be easy to translate these examples to your favorite database.

Quick-Install-Guide
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Read the configuration file. There are many explaining comments in the config file.
2. Install the files of the htdocs directory to your webserver directory. If you didn't want to show the actual database contents limit the access to squidquotastatistik.cgi or delete that file. If you use auth in squid squidquotauserstatistik.cgi will show the stats for the authenticated user.
3. Start builddb.pl. For testing use the debug mode (-d). Please note: if you use postgres use the -n flag after your first run. It could be that you have to install some cpan modules.
4. Include squidquota.pl in squid. If you are already using a redirector look for manyplex on the SquiVi2 homepage (http://squivi2.sf.net/).
